Paul sends greetings to the believers in Roman and ends with a meditation on the gospel. 

Strong and weak Christians should accept one another just like Christ did. 

Paul helps the Roman Christians navigate the differences between those who have a strong understanding of their freedom in Christ and a weaker understanding of their freedom in Christ. 

Believers should submit the governing authorities. Christians should also live in holiness because Christ's return is drawing near. 

Paul turns to the practical application of the gospel. Believers must continually devote themselves to the Lord. They must also use their gifts to build up the body of Christ. 

God has not fully rejected Israel because he is still saving a remnant. Even though Israel has largely rejected Christ, that fact in one way should be a cause of pride among Gentile believers. Instead, Gentiles must realize that they are dependent on the Jewish people, who brought forth the Savior of the world, Jesus Christ. 

While the Jews had the Law, they missed the point of it and instead tried to obtain righteousness through it. Paul demonstrates that righteousness is not achieved through the Law but through faith, which connects someone to the Righteous One, Jesus Christ. 

Paul expresses anguish over the state of the Jewish, for they have largely rejected Christ. Just having a certain ethnic heritage is no guarantee of salvation, but instead depends on God's will and purpose.

Christians have been freed from the law's power to serve Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit. Yet, believers will still battle sin and not do everything that they want to do.
